Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations - 2016–17 Report on Plans and Priorities - Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations Over the Next Three Fiscal Years
A. Internal audits
The Report on Plans and Priorities includes internal audits that are currently underway or planned for 2016– and 2017–. Additions and adjustments to the internal audits listed below may occur in order to address emerging risks and priorities of the Secretariat.
| Title of internal audit | Internal audit type | Status | Expected completion date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Dollar Value Contracting | Acquisition Services | In progress | |
| Information Technology Security (coordinated with Shared Services Canada) | Information Technology Services | In progress | |
| Information Management Within the Secretariat | Information Management Services | Planned (recurring in 2016– and 2017–) | and |
| The Secretariat’s Internal Control Framework for the Public Service Dental Care Plan | Public Service Employer Payments | Planned | |
| Employee Performance Management Processes Within the Secretariat | Human Resources Management Services | Planned | |
| Information Technology Security | Information Technology Services | Planned (recurring in 2016– and 2017–) | and |
| The Secretariat’s Single Window Model for Treasury Board Submissions (joint project with the evaluation function) | Decision-Making Support and Oversight | Planned |
The requirement to remain responsive and flexible to the Secretariat’s evolving needs limits the audit function’s ability to forecast plans beyond the 2016– time frame. Future risk-based audit planning exercises will identify projects for 2016– and 2017– based on risk assessments, departmental priorities and resource capacity closer to these respective years.
B. Evaluations
The following evaluations are planned over the next three fiscal years. Additions or adjustments will be made to address emerging priorities.
